Last Update
I have a memo field that is tracking the history of action items. I want to
create a field called "Last Update". I want to be able to enter information in that field and view it on a report. After that, I want to be able to click a button and add the information in the Last Update field to the end of the information in the memo field. For Example: History blah blah blah Last Update Added code to software. After I click a button, I want the information in Last Update to be appended to the end of the History field. And Last Update to clear. |

Last Update
The code behind the button will say
Me.[YourMemoField'sName] = Me.[YourMemoField'sName] & " " & Me.[Last Update] Having said this, I'll add that this is probably not a good idea. Surely, you really need a table that records these updates so that each update is another record in the table. So one table will contain your Items, this table will contain the Primary Key of the Items table as a *Foreign Key Field* and the Last Update field. Once that data has been stuffed into your memo field, it will be very difficult to get out again and you will neither be able to search or sort it. As I tell my children - you will be sorry!
